Above listing is for maximum number of each individual types of lights.
If mixing and matching lighting, contact Trex to determine if more than
one transformer is required. Please visit Trex .c o m for an interactive
capacity calculator.
1. Locate placement of lights and lead wiring. Plan
accordingly if you choose to bury wire under
concrete or other
permanent structures.
2. Place all lights in desired
location. If necessary
use 3/4" (19 mm) auger
with optional extension
in a drill to penetrate
the surface enough to
ensure the fixture is
firmly implanted (SEE
WARNING ON PAGE 17).
3. Run all wires from the power source locations to the
lights on top of the soil, being mindful to leave slack.
Pay special attention if using separate circuits with
independent dimmers (grouping lights by type is
recommended).
4. Connect all lights. Wire the optional dimmer
(recommended) between the main 20' (6.1 m)
transformer to male lead and the transformer
for each circuit. Ensure connections (including
splitters), fixtures, and power sources all work
properly.
4a. Use male-to-male extension cables to make
connections to splitters (all sold separately). Cap
off all unused female connections on splitters using
caps provided or weather-resistant silicone.
5. You can mix and combine all lights except the spotlight
on the same circuit but make sure you
DO NOT exceed the maximum number of lights per
transformer. If running separate circuits with dimmers
on each circuit, using a separate transformer for each
circuit can simplify installation. However, use of a
multi-zone transformer adapter will allow for separate
circuits on the same transformer.
6. It is recommended the installer preview light
placement in the dark to ensure desired effect is
achieved.
7. Once the light, wire, and
splitter placement is
finalized, work from the
light fixtures towards the
power source to bury
the wire to the desired
depth. No more than
1"–3" (25 mm–76 mm) is
required.
